The Court held that the Notices complied with section 137 of the LGA 1976 (identification by pylon plate numbers, coordinates and location sufficed) and dismissed TNB's appeals; however the High Court erred in holding landowners (rather than the owners of the pylons) liable in Melaka—because in Melaka the statutory definition of 'holding' expressly includes buildings (including pylons), the owner of those pylons (TNB) is liable to pay rates for them; the High Court's contrary interpretation was set aside.
